Confused about what his son was hiding from them, both Noah and his wife, Jessica, let Caleb do his thing for a while. However, he grew even more secretive about his activities. The situation reached a boiling point when he approached Jessica for more money. This was too much for Noah, and he decided to uncover the truth about his son’s actions.
The next day, he immediately jumped in his car and drove to school before Caleb arrived on the bus. It was so early that the school wasn’t even open yet, so he waited for a couple of minutes. Then he saw one of Caleb’s teachers and decided to confront her. She was shocked. Caleb’s teacher was very cooperative and willing to tell Noah everything about his son.
However, she couldn’t provide the answers he was looking for. She had never noticed Caleb’s bag or that he was hiding something there. But there was something else. For the past few weeks, Caleb had been consistently late for class. This couldn’t be a mere coincidence.
Noah realized that Caleb’s strange behavior at school was likely connected to his suspicious actions. He approached the principal to try to make sense of the situation and asked him to confirm what Caleb’s teacher had already told him. The principal was familiar with Caleb and acknowledged that he had been acting unusually lately, despite being one of the school’s best students.
The principal informed Noah that Caleb seemed absent-minded and unengaged in school. It was as if his mind was elsewhere, and the only time he showed any energy was when someone came close to his backpack. Additionally, there was more to the story. Caleb had recently been expelled from one of his classes due to a lack of attentiveness.
Feeling concerned, Noah decided to interview Caleb’s friends and fellow students to gather more information about his behavior. He wanted to know if they had noticed anything and if they held any answers.
Caleb’s friends and classmates confirmed the same story as the teacher and principal. Caleb had changed inexplicably in recent times, especially since the last holiday. Noah couldn’t fathom the reason behind these changes, but all they mentioned was something related to his backpack. Caleb was overly protective of it.
Even during the bus ride to school, he insisted on sitting alone, not allowing anyone to come close. Although no one knew what was in the backpack, Noah wondered why Caleb constantly brought diapers to school. Was there something more to it? Determined to find out, Noah tried to talk to his son when he returned home that day.
He first looked into Caleb’s backpack, which was carefully stored in his room. However, to his surprise, the bag was completely empty. This raised even more questions. What was Caleb doing with the diapers? Caleb flatly refused to communicate with his parents, which made them believe he was hiding more than just the diapers. They did find stuffing in his room’s diapers, indicating that he might be using them to transport something.
To get to the bottom of the situation, Noah decided to secretly follow Caleb to school the next day, keeping a safe distance. He parked his car near the bus stop in the morning. He needed to know what Caleb was up to so he could confront him. Unexpectedly, Caleb took the bus and filled up his backpack once again. As Noah followed the bus, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. However, at the last stop before school, Caleb got off.
Noah was completely bewildered by his son’s actions. Was Caleb aware that he was being followed? Quickly parking his car, Noah tried to track Caleb on foot, but it proved to be a challenging task. Where was Caleb headed? After approximately 15 minutes of following him, Noah lost track of his whereabouts. He had to maintain a safe distance to avoid being spotted. That’s when he completely lost sight of Caleb. Noah looked around for a few minutes, but there was no sign of him. He had to intercept him at school.
Noah swiftly drove to the school, hoping to intercept Caleb, but it seemed like Caleb was nowhere near the premises. Noah waited for quite a while, almost giving up. Then, in the distance, he spotted his son arriving after a whole hour had passed. Noah was extremely confused. Caleb was late for school and appeared to be up to no good. Where had he been all that time?
Noah’s questions multiplied when he noticed something peculiar about the backpack. When Caleb turned the corner, Noah realized that his son’s backpack was completely empty. Where had all the diapers gone? Caleb must have left them somewhere, and this couldn’t be a good sign.
Noah started suspecting that Caleb might be involved in something illegal, and he decided it was time to confront him. He quickly got out of the car and rushed over to Caleb, who was taken aback by his father’s sudden appearance. Caleb had no idea why his father was there. At first, he was surprised, but things quickly took a turn for the worse.
Noah snatched the bag from Caleb’s hands and opened it, only to find it completely empty. There were no drinks, food, money, or anything inside. Caleb instantly burst into tears, seemingly caught in the act, but he still refused to say anything. Concerned for his son’s safety, Noah decided not to push him further.
He informed the principal that he would take Caleb home, and the principal agreed. Fortunately, it was a day before the holiday, allowing Noah to keep a close eye on his son. However, this was not the end of the ordeal. Noah discussed the situation with his wife, Jessica, and they struggled to come up with a solution to make Caleb open up.
Jessica suggested placing a tracking device in Caleb’s backpack, unbeknownst to him, as a means to figure out what he was up to. Although hesitant at first, Noah agreed because he needed to unravel the mystery before it was too late. During the rest of the holiday, Caleb locked himself in his room as he was grounded. He refused to come out during the day, and he even neglected basic activities like eating and showering. At one point, Caleb attempted to climb out of the window but was caught by Jessica.
Thankfully, nothing significant occurred during the holiday period, but Caleb eventually stopped speaking to his parents. They could hear him in his room, busy with something related to his backpack. Although they had already placed a tracking device inside, they wondered if he had discovered it. As the holiday neared its end, Caleb started acting relatively normal, but Noah couldn’t fully trust the change. He decided to be exceptionally nice to Caleb, hoping to convince him to go outside with his backpack. However, Caleb was not allowed to do so.
When school resumed, they couldn’t keep Caleb indoors any longer. They were hesitant to let him go out on his own, but they had no choice. Luckily, Caleb had not found the tracking device in his backpack. This was their chance to uncover the truth. Caleb once again stuffed his bag, and it seemed like he packed even more this time. It was crucial for Noah and Jessica to get to the bottom of his actions.
They followed Caleb at a safe distance, and once again, he got off at the same stop. Tracking him through the app, they observed that he walked for nearly 30 minutes to a remote location. They were utterly perplexed by the distance he was covering.
